Gaming Review: Video Game Console Wars
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008Video game console developers have been in a never ending war with each other and I believe it will never end. The video game industry has been an ever changing market with cutting edge technology in home entertainment. Many companies has been trying to get a piece of this multi-billion dollar market over the past thirty something years. A Lot of companies have failed miserably while some try to merge with other companies to stay afloat. With all the failures there are some that have succeeded quite well over the past quarter century. Every 4-6 years (average life expectancy of a successful video game console system) a new war wages between these massive companies with multi-million dollar budgets for marketing their new hardware. Perhaps the most recognizable feud is the battle between Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. In the front line, Microsoft has their Xbox 360, Sony with their Playstation 3 and Nintendo with the Wii. I decided to briefly break down the specs of these three systems as well as how they are doing in the video game market.
